Hi I have a dilema, albeit a nice one! lol

I have been using smartphones and pocket pcs for my personal contact for some time now..... SPV E100, 200, 500, 600, M5000 and now the M3100..... I love them especially the 3100..... My work phone is now being replaced with either a blackberry (pearl or one with a full keyboard) or a qtek or 1210 (similar to the c600 i think).

I am just wondering if I should get a pearl for a change.... although my heart is with WM for the syncing with no problems etc..... I just wondered if anyone has any experience of the Pearl or the 1210 and had any comments or advice..... My personal phone will def be staying as a WM device......., its just the work phone.....

At anytime, if I had to choose between a windows os or blackberry os... I would get the blackberry without even thinking about it lol but I'm a microsoft/windows hater so ..... ~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~

Re: Blackberry or Windows Mobile??

To be fair, when I first got a BB it took some getting used to, but I think thats fair to say about any new OS... BUT - with that being said - the BB OS is one of the easiest and most logical to use....

Re: Blackberry or Windows Mobile??

Actually your problem may be easily solved. If your WM device is using WM 6.0 or is upgradeable to WM 6.0 you can download and use the Blackberry emulator and get all your blackberry functionality with a WM device. (Disclaimer: I agree with the rest on the choice being automatic for myself to go with a BB device.)

Re: Blackberry or Windows Mobile??

If you decide to go any Blackberry, my opinion is the 8700. It is an outstanding phone. I also rock the Tmobile Mda which is a Windows Mobile phone that also have outstanding features. My opinion, stay with 2 pones, gotta have that back up!

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~ this site has a lot of BB lovers, you should ask somewhere else 2. I love my phone, there is nothing complicated about it. It looks awsome and has all the functionallities I need. I like to have my phone on the go in my pocket. "pocket pc's" don't fit in ur pocket. I'm not leaving BB for any os

I'm not a windows hater, my laptop has 3 installations of windows xp and a vista installation, I own a zune, not an ipod, but I have had several windows mobile devices and I have to say that unless wm6 is some kind of super fly OS the likes of which the world has never seen then ill be sticking with the berry for my phone

Re: Blackberry or Windows Mobile??

To offer a differny viewpoint, I absolutely LOVE Microsoft. I love Windows Vista and Office 2007. However, their OS WindowsMobile for cell phones is AWEFULL! I had an MPX200 and it rebooted and was just overall very slow. I just had a Q for a few days and couldnt stand how slow their OS STILL IS!

Anyone who is even debating between the 2 is smoking crack. There is just no comparrison to the Blackberry OS.

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~^ well said! I've been using palm and windows ce before there was a phone attached to them. As a phone, I've had a treo 600 up til the treo 700 (winDOZE). I couldn't stand the dated 90's look of palm and the daily soft resets of windows mobile. The pearl was my first bb. And I'm a proud owner of the 8800. I am never looking back. Once you go black(berry), you'll never go back! Lol

Re: Blackberry or Windows Mobile??

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~ I haven't had enough of a play with any WM device to say anything about them. But I'm on my second BB now and I would have to be VERY WELL convinced to deviate to anything else.
